Music video for ''The Ritual'' by Pearl Gates feat. Masta Ace & Ali De Leon taken from the ''Diamond Mind'' EP. Song produced by Kic Beats, video directed by Damijin' Myndz!.

Pearl Gates: "The Ritual embodies the customary practice we undergo
as artists, from cutting records in the studio to the release and
performance of those records. This particular song is an invitation into
my process''.

The record came together when Pearl Gates was on tour in Europe opening for Masta Ace. Gates and eMC previously worked together on eMC's "The Tonite Show" album on the song "Fly Thoughts". Gates also says ''with
"The Ritual" I just wanted to invite the listener into the room to see
the progression firsthand, and luckily for me once Ace heard the record
he wanted to be apart of it''.

Whether or not you’re a man or woman of God, we all face moments in our
lives where we put our personal faith in question. That goes for whether
it’s a particularly trying time or a situation where doing the wrong
thing seems right. Either way, anyone can relate to the core feelings of
Eff Yoo’s stirring new video, “God Hates Me,” featuring The Audible
Doctor and Airon Azure.

The story here is a chilling one that
centers on a priest, portrayed by the Queens rapper, battling personal
demons that stem from a decision to murder the man who killed someone
close to him. Eff even goes so far as to kidnap the murderer (portrayed
by The Audible Doctor), all the while riding around and questioning
himself with Azure seemingly as his conscience.

The video is
directed by both Eff Yoo and NJ’s Skrewtape, a multi-talented artist who
has previously worked with Mr. Green and Miilkbone. And here, he’s
taken the message of “God Hates Me” and turned it into a suspense/horror
short-film.

‘The Eff Word’ LP, which also boasts features from
Big Noyd and Spit Gemz, is now available for stream and download through
iTunes and all major digital retailers, and can be purchased on CD via
Platformz Records.
